XEW YOLtME.
The DEroCn.vT rVginsits filth year
to-dav. Recent additions have been
made to the office, in job and newspa
per material, and tho greater part of
the reading matter in to-day's issue is
printed vtpon new type. Tho Demo
crat is ono of the institutions of this
young city, and of this growing and
prosperous county and State, and its
publishers consider it a duty to keep
pace in its improvement with tho peo
ple by whom it is surrounded. AVe do
not hesitate to invite a comparison with
any other paper in-the State.
"We enter upon tho new volume un
der good auspices. "Within tho threo
months past, our list has been increas
ing at a rate that is a gratifying evi
dence of public approval and of future
prosperity. We are in such constant re
ceipt of orders for back numbers that we
have so far been unablo to fill many of
them, but have adopted such measures
as will enablo us to supply all orders
dating from to-dar.
It is our aim to devote the Democrat
to the development of tho material in
terests of Albany and Lann count v.
And to this end wo shall discuss plans
for public improvement, our resources
and wants, together with statistics and
other valuable data from time to time.
"We shall thus render the paper useful
to those desiring information of the
country and make it aimlliary to its
future development.
, No paper is more generally sought
after in political circles in tho State.
TVe are bold to say that this is owing
to the fact that no paper has discussed
matters pertaining to our State admin
istration or the abuses thereof, with
the freedom the Democrat has. In il
lustration of this, it is only necessary
to mention that no other paper in the
State except the Jacksonville Xewx,
which re-printed from us has yet pub
lished an account of the malfeasance
in office of a high State functionary,
although such malfeasance engaged
the attention of a Marion county
Grand Jury, which only failed to find
a bill upon technical groundsv The
Democrat can afford to be independent.
It does not owe its support to Cliques,
Corporations or Commercial interests,
but to the sturdy Democracy, princi
Xally of Linn county, who have no
interests that are not identical with
those of the earnest and patriotic men
of all the State.
To use that hackneyed but indispen
sable phrase, "now is the time to sub
scribe." And with the beginning of
this new rear we ask the confidence
laid patronage of those who are in
sympathy with the objects we have
itated.
The Jacksonville Sentinel is agitated
over our paragraph asking the Port
land quotations for State warrants and
whether the warrants are gobbled up
tt the Capitol or not. .The Sentinel
fays the item is a "vile insinuation
against the State Treasurer" &c., that
the warrants are not depreciated "at
all" but are at par ; that there is a man
in Jacksonville who wants $10,000
worth at 92 and 95 cents.
These warrants have been selling as
low as C5 cents in considerable quan
tities. Many of those received by the
State Printer were disposed of at that
figure to enable him to pay his em
ployes, and thus the man who worked
for the State lost 35 cents upon the
dollar of much of his pay, through the
perfidy and rascality, or the cowardice of
the Republican members of the Leg
islature. And further, it can be shown
that the money, or a portion of it, with
which the State printer's warrants were
bought those above referred to was
obtained of Sir. Cooke, who is State
Treasurer.
McPhefson would have been glad to
know before selling his warrants that
they were at par and would have been
equally glad to have formed tie ac
quaintance of that Jacksonville man
" ho wants $10,000 of warrants, worth
100 cents for 92
to theMlecri
Tiy referring to theUjegraph it will
be seen that General Canby proposes
to convene the Virginia Legislature in
about ten days, when he wUl apply the
iron-clad oath to tha mpmliPrti''' V'
of those who cannot take the oath wih
be refused their seats, which will be
, . , , ,
given to the candidates who were de-
feated.
Gen. Canby thus proposes to nullify
the recent election and to proceed to
the election or selection of a Legisla
ture himself. The immediate result
cf this base usurpation is the election
cf two Radical Senators. But even
ibis is an inconsiderable advantage,
compared to what the Radical party
Till lose by the operation. . The World
eiys that the Republican papers with
snse enough to come in out of the
riin are sorely troubled about it, satis
fied that Canby's course will make ev
ery man wlio voted for Walker a Dem
03ratwill convert that overwhelming
Conservative majority into ; a Demo
cratic majority, and that Canby is play
ing for tne present to lose the future.

SHALL U'E 1II.M OUXtSELVES?
Tho early completion of the railroad
through this valley suggests a few
questions to tho consideration of our
business men. A railroad is very? de
sirable, and yet if all of tho Oregon
towns depend wholly upon the railroad
for business, many of them may Buffer
no little disappointment.
A road will bring our merchants
into competition with Portland mer
chants, and it will take largo quan
tities of tho produce- that now comes
to Albany and are exchanged for mer
chandise, to market by a moro direct
routo. Much of tho wheat that is now
brought 10 and 20 miles to bo stored,
and ground or shipped, will bo taken
to depots that havo the advantage of
being near to tho produccer; and what
is true of. wheat is also true of other
produce.
Albany ought to becomo a manufac
turer. Such a business can not fail.
The cities whoso prosperity is based
upon manufacturing interests are built
upon a rock. It is estimated that this
county purchased last year 1100,000
worth of machinery for farming pur
poses, and this will be exceeded by ex
penditures in this and each succeeding
year. Now why could not Albany
inako this machinery ? Suppose some
enterprising man or association of men
shall expend $30,000 an insignificant
sum compared with the magnitudo of
the enterprise in erecting machine
shops this will keep within Linn
countv and the State a very large and
constantly increasing sum of money.
The immense revenue derived to east
ern manufacturers may a well as not
be saved to our own citizens. The
cost of transportation and the commis
sion of the Portland Importers is an
othei considerable item. Our fanners
muat havo machinery. Thev would
much prefer to buy it near home, to
patronize- home industry and assist in
building up their own State.
Albany is situated in the heart of
Oregon. From the dome of its Court
House a half million acres of the most
productive land in the world can Ik?
seen lying in a Ixxly, with majestic
mountains upon one side and a beau
tiful river upon the other.
In perhaps a few months a railroad
will be completed through the center
of this magnificent landscape, on a
line as straight as an arrow for forty
miles. This will be followed
by a greatly increased popula
tion and a greatly increased demand
for such manufactured articles as we
are now importing. Salem, Oregon
City and Portland are all turning at
tention to thee interests; why hhall
not we do the same thing ? To con
tinue our illustration, the manufacture
of farminir machinery will, in addi"
tion to its other advantages, bring a
large number of artisans in our mid.it,
and thus make valuable additions to
our population. Let us bring a con
siderable part of the South Satitiam
river to Albany. Let us invite enter
prise hero and assist in an earnest way
to lay the foundation for a substantial
prosperity. We are already manu
facturing soaps and lard oil ; patron
ize and encourage that enterprise. "We
should make our wooden buckets,
brooms, and above all our Reapers,
Headers and Threshers.
RADICAL STUPIDITY.'
Instead of insisting that the coolies
are the most desirable and necessary
addition that can be made to the pop
ulation of the Pacific coast, the Rad
ical papers here had better take a les
son or two from such papers as Harper
Weekly, which, in its issue of Aug. 14,
says: "America lias an endless wel
come for the industrious laborer who
comes hither to secure larger opportu
nities for himself and his children, but
no country welcomes an inundation of
foreign barbarism.
It is not the number of a rpulation
but its quality that makes a great na
tion; nor do abundant labor and cheap
wages announce an imminent millen
nium." The Corvallis Gazette construes what
was said in the Democrat about . the
coming story, writer (and which con
cluded wTith a recommendation to
Kane's Imperial Soap) into "a sneer
ing and supercillious attack upon the
author of the story, upon the editor of
the Gazette and upon temperance." He

"we do not hold ourselves responsible

if Bro. Carter will address his griev
ance to "A. J. Kane, Imperial Soap
Company; Portland," we guarantee the
fullest redress, together with perhaps
some remuneration for the gratuitous
advertisement he has given them in
re-printing our offending paragraph in
his paper. : - '

iMitucniATiox committee;
The peoplo of Portland havo organ
ized an Immigration Committeo for
tho purposo of : promoting: tho immi
gration of settlers to tho State, , Sa
lem has organized a Committee to co
operate with Portland. Should not
Albany do tho samo thing ? ' Although
these committees aro not intended to
bo local in their influencoi yot we can
hardly.expect thorn to represent equal
ly all parts of tho Stato if all parta of
tho Stato do not co-opcrato with them
in their efforts. Such would bo.: nei
ther just nor possible. There is no
ono so capable of collecting and fur
nishing tho hecossary information con
cerning the character and resources of
tho count' as some of thd livo citizens
of tho county. , 4,
Let us have a meeting and a commit
tee. Linn county needs immigrants
needs advertising to procuro them.
And now let m go about it. An: old
adage pays that 'lie; who, causes two
blades of grass to grow whero only
one grew before is a public .benefactor.
Let every man constitute himself a
benefactor and go to work to induco
immigration and increase and multiply
bur product. Tho Immigration Com
mittee offers tho only feasiblo method
to do these things. Therefore let us
meet organize and, go actively, ear
nestly and immediately to work.
BmisMNa to Sm.vut. Tho Repub
lican papers in Oregon insisted that
there was no Republican defeat in Vir
ginia and Tennessee only a little
family difference about men, that
amounted to just nothing at all. And
then they very logically naid : "why,
only imagine Pearno and Brownlow
working for a Democratic victory."
However, they aro just beginning to
realize the situation and to hop about
in the most lively manner. Notice
this from the Qrtyjvmah ;

try, and if thought advisable, to locate
the remainder there.
Mr. D. is favorably iraproed with
the country visited and thinks that

growing purposes. Thi includes por
tions of Goose Lake and Cliawachien
vallies, tho latter of which k forty
miles North of Goose Lake, has a mild
er climate and will contain a hundred
settlers. It is however not yet safe
from Indian depredations.
Tuk Tribune is becoming anxious
about the 15th Amendment Five
more States are needed. It claims
that if tho Radicals had not attempted
disfranchisement in the South the rati
fication of Virginia, Georgia, Missis
sipi and Texas would have been given ;
that those States "stand ready to give
their assent unless repulsed by those
who ought to welcome and facilitate
their co-operation in tho needful
work," and concludes 1 y saying : "And
now if that amendment nhould fail,
when its ratification was so clearly
within reach of its friends, there' ahall
rest somewhere & fearful responsibility."
Another Blessi.no. The Alia savs :
"An afodation of tho Chicago CoiurorcUl

Philadelphia, Aug. 18. In the Na

committees arc announced. The commit

memorialized to provide for per cent, pay

offered on the action of the convention in

The Siamese Trios arc fairly eclipsed
by a new novelty that has been introduced
to the public. Thil immense curiosity at
tended the great Jubilee at Boston, or
rather was a side aUractton to that great
event, and is thus described by the Boston
Pott: .
This most remarkable human being, as
above quoted from the handbill, is Miss
Christine Millie, a voun lady ol African
color and lineament, who hods levees at
the Mclodcon. We say she, for brevity:
fur there are two of her in most respects
two heads, necks, busts, two pair of arms,
shoulders and legs, and but one waist. As
the exhibitor aavs in the brief address
which he delivers thrice hourly, you may
call her .c or they, but he has always
called her the wonderful two-beaded girl,
and thinks he shall ever do n. Miss
Christine Millie is evidently ofpure negTO
blood, her skin dark, her hps thick and
protruding, her noses broad and foreheads
low. Yet there is ao intelligent cast to
her counteuanco which would have led to
classification as a smart negro on the auc
tion block f her North Carolina home
ten years ago. Indeed, it is said that in
the "balmy davs of .her childhood and
slavery. 680,000 was the price: but this
was her valuation as a rare specimen of
deformity, rather than heriotrinsic worth.
She is of short stature, one of her being
somewhat shorter than the other, though
the difference is hardly noticeable. Her
arms are long, as arc also her hands, her
fingers possessing that slender formation
and those little movements which seem to
indicate an aptitude far manipulating cur
rency. Iicr hair is gloasy, suggestively so,
and though comparatively straight where
it escapes from the gorgeous coronets of
black velvet aod jewels which encircle
her heads, falls about her shoulders in
close rinirlcts. Whica head answers to
Christine and which t) Millie, is not as
certainable, although there is a difference
in the faces. One is blight, laughing, and
always wearing a pleastat expression j the
other settles, when at rest, into a look of
morose and sullen discontent. The hap
py face m 1U her photographs, tho other
dispenses biographies. - Both sets of nim
ble fingers take the money,. and the long
arms make change for each other, across
the common waist. Millie's' side giving
Christine's five half-dimes for a scrip
quartcr,and Christine's half returning the
fivo without grumbling the ucxt minute.
Christine Millie's two selves are joined to
gether at the lower partof the spine, back
to back; (mo set of organs supplying tho
lower part of the body, upon which two
perfect chest organizations rest. They
chat lively enough with two different per
sons at the same time; they-evidently
think of different matters, and only in
stooping, sitting down or walking, when
one proceeds backwards or sideways, does
their uncomfortable unity appear. They
sing a duet, the lively head . taking the
soprano, and tho other a very tolerable
alto j and they sing very nicely to those
not disoosed to criticise They certainly
have the rich, sympathetic , negro voice,
and with it the deficiencies ot the same.
As the lecturer above referred to remarks,
there is no humbug about this'girl. She
has certainly got a double supply of those
external organs which go to make up the
colored girl of the period, and is certainly
joined together in a mast substantial man
ner near tho point where the Grecian bend
begins in better favored females. This
girl is but 17 years old; and as there are
two of her she might be called 34, with
out violating. figures, and is; a 'curiosity
which seems a3 attractive as rare.
Acute and chronic rheumatism, as well
as gout, generally affect the joints, but other
more valuable parts are also subject to their
attacks. They are generally caused by ,vi
tiatod blood, which is produced by derange
ment of the digestive organs. The most ef
fective remedy that can be used for curing
these painful affections, ,ia Dr. Walker's
Vegetable Vinegar Bitter's a remedy
speedy and .efiicacious, which will eradicate
the disease, and- remove the cau.$o.
